Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Memphis, Tennessee

From a staff member:

03/06/2026- I took Precious outside today. In the kennel he was very timid. He was a little difficult to get out the kennel and he didn't want to walk. He walked better once we were away from the other dogs. Once we got outside he was completely different. He was cuddly and affectionate. He seems to be house trained. He will sit for a treat.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments.
